Tia Update — Feb 19, 2011
Tia is doing ok.…she continues to be happiest in her stall and gets nervous outside of her stall. Dr. Hannah did a brief dental exam on her and most of her teeth are at the gumline so there isn’t much to be done, a few corners that could be rounded and she thinks…
Corona Update Feb 19 2011
Corona is doing great! His bloodwork was rechecked and his muscle enzymes which had been elevated previously are now normal, allowing him to be given some bute this week which has surely made him feel more comfortable. He continues to be a very tolerant, good boy…
Lucky Update — Feb 17, 2011

Another Chance for Maggie
